Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

In fact, since the start of the study tour program, there has not been a long time.But in the hearts of all the teachers and students at Hogwarts, the ups and downs of campus life seemed to have been a long time ago.

Yes, including Harry, Hermione, Ron and others who are currently taking care of the survivors in Spiral Town, including students of all grades and accompanying professors who travel the world on the Transformation.

For example, Hagrid, who looks unusually rough on the outside, but slender in his heart, has been chewing fish bones and wiping away tears with a napkin at dinner time for several days.

Naturally, Minerva McGonagall, who loved Hogwarts so much, actually began to miss school time soon after leaving the UK.

If it weren’t for Maca’s phrase "Hogwarts is where students are", maybe McGonagall would not accompany the study tour plan, but chose to stay on the campus silently to guard the one that belongs to him and everyone. Great place.

However, Trelawney's sudden doomsday prophecy finally caused her anxiety to burst out suddenly.

In fact, although Minerva McGonagall is indeed a good teacher who loves students very much, her affection for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...or rather, the place "Hogwarts Castle", is particularly true There is victory.

Because in Minerva McGonagall's heart, Hogwarts is not only her workplace, but also a "shelter"-like place she found best for her.

At this moment, she had already returned to school, standing at the gate of the castle, looking up at this building that had been so familiar for decades.

In her mind, memories that have faded slowly but are still exceptionally clear.

...

In 1935, Minerva was born in an ordinary rural Muggle family. Her father Robert McGonagall was a pastor of a Muggle church.

As for her mother, she was a Muggle woman who had locked her wand and concealed her identity as a witch.

Before Minerva's magical runaway appeared, her father didn't even know that his wife, who had lived peacefully with him for more than ten years, was a wizard who could use magic.

However, perhaps Minerva's mother was willing to give up her magical life for her love, but the little Minerva was full of longing and curiosity about the mysterious and unknown world.

At the age of eleven, Minerva, who received her admission letter, first came into contact with Hogwarts, and suddenly fell in love with this place where she could fully display her talents.

She quickly became the best student in the same grade, whether it was written magic theory or various practical subjects, even Quidditch was quite good.

In the end, during her seven-year student career, Minerva graduated from Hogwarts with the highest grade in all subjects, and received an appointment letter from the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic on the day of graduation.

However, just in the months when she returned to her hometown to spend her last summer vacation and then moved to London to work, Minerva McGonagall, who was 18 years old, was the only one in her life on the ridge of her hometown. The man I loved met.

What makes people even more surprised is that she, who has always loved the magical world, fell in love with a Muggle man just like her mother.

In the end, Minerva and her mother are still very different.Due to the existence of the "Secrecy Act", when she had to face the two absolute options of "locking the wand" and "giving up love", she finally chose magic and ideals.

However, during the next two years of work and life, Minerva gradually realized the gap between ideals and reality.

To be honest, her boss was actually a very good wizard at the time, and in the long time of working together, she also had a vague affection for the beautiful Minerva.

It is a pity that a certain group of colleagues who have strong discrimination towards Muggles and the figure of first love that still exists somewhere in Minerva's heart make Minerva hate her life in London more and more.

Finally, in the middle of one night, Minerva, who was tossed and could not sleep, wrote a cover letter on the impulse and sent it to Hogwarts quite abruptly.

It must be said that although Minerva was still excellent at the time, she was even getting promoted in the Ministry of Magic.Maybe her level of magic at that time was not enough to be a professor at Hogwarts.

What's more, Hogwarts does not actually have many precedents for actively seeking jobs. The professors of the past generations are basically selected and hired by the principal or four deans.

However, just a few hours later, the owl brought her a letter of offer when it was getting dark.

Perhaps it was Minerva’s impulsive application letter that was full of moving and true feelings. Dumbledore, then dean of Gryffindor College and professor of deformation studies, accepted her application and gave it to She is an assistant professor in the Department of Transformation.

And it turns out that compared with the boring, cramped, and intriguing work environment of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts is like a paradise.

Under the protection of Hogwarts and the support of Dumbledore, Minerva grew up quickly.

After only half a year, Minerva, who devoted herself to studying teaching work and constantly improving herself, was recognized by Dumbledore and the principal at the time and officially became a teacher who could teach independently.

To be honest, she thanked the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which educates herself, protects herself, and provided her with a huge display space, and also thanked Dumbledore who was able to break through the routine and hired herself.

It is worth mentioning that it was also during that six months that she accidentally learned from a letter from her mother the recent situation of the first love she had missed.

When she learned that the Muggle man who was rejected by her marriage contract, after waiting silently for nearly three years before finally giving up, and now married a farmer's daughter, Minerva couldn't cry in an empty classroom.

At that time, it was Dumbledore who comforted her with his sad past that he had never told anyone else.Dumbledore's past made her understand that everything in the world is indeed always impermanent, and only by continuing to look forward can she see the beauty of life.

There is no doubt that it was Dumbledore who pulled herself up when she fell into a trough two consecutive times in her life.In retrospect, Minerva would often realize that she already owed the school and Dumbledore too much.

...

Right now, while remembering, Minerva walked to the door of the classroom that used to be. She couldn't help but lift her wrist and gently wipe the slightly moist corner of her eye.

She walked slowly into the unmanned classroom, stroking the desks with various old scratches in the front row, and walked all the way to the side near the window.

She remembered very clearly that the place where she was sitting when she was relatively petite, has always been here.

"Professor Dumbledore, it really hasn't changed at all!"
